Devin Foley 69dea878c0 fix(sentry): prove a native capacity retry from its successor run (#19051)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The server sends unexpected run failures to Sentry as run-failure
events
> - A native Codex run can fail because the model is at capacity.
Paperclip then schedules a bounded automatic retry
> - #18295 keeps that scheduled retry out of Sentry. It requires the
committed finalization fields on the failed run row
> - On staging, the failed run row can lose `finalizationReasonCode`
after the decision is committed. The retry run exists, but the report
still goes to Sentry
> - This pull request uses the successor retry run as the proof, and
stops reading the run's own finalization fields
> - The benefit is that a capacity failure that has a scheduled retry
does not make Sentry noise. Exhausted and held failures still report

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18295

**What happened?**
A native Codex run failed with `native_provider_overloaded`. The status
decision scheduled the capacity retry, and the retry run was created.
The server still sent a run-failure event to Sentry. The server release
contained #18295. The failed run row had `finalizationPhase:
"committed"`, but it did not have `finalizationReasonCode`. The retry
run was created about two seconds before the failed run's terminal
write.

**Expected behavior**
When the committed capacity decision creates a retry run, the failure
stays local. The retry owns recovery. A later failure of the retry
reports its own outcome.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Make a native Codex run fail with a typed `codex`/`server_overloaded`
diagnostic.
2. Let the status decision schedule the `native_provider_overloaded`
retry.
3. Let a late terminal write replace the run's `resultJson` with a
version that does not have `finalizationReasonCode`.
4. Report the run failure. Before this change, Sentry gets an event.

**Additional context**
Only the committed `schedule_retry` effect in
`status-decision-committer.ts` creates a successor with
`scheduledRetryReason = native_provider_overloaded` (through
`materializeNativeProviderCapacityRetry`). Thus the successor row is a
stronger proof than the run's own finalization fields.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/run-failure-report.ts`:
`isScheduledNativeCapacityRetry` no longer requires `finalizationPhase
=== "committed"` or `finalizationReasonCode ===
"native_provider_overloaded"` on the failed run. It still requires a
failed native run with `errorCode = native_provider_overloaded`, the
typed `codex`/`server_overloaded` diagnostic, a native task, no signal,
and a phase that is not setup. It still requires the successor run for
the same task with `retryOfRunId = run.id` and `scheduledRetryReason =
native_provider_overloaded`. The successor lookup and its index use do
not change.
- `server/src/services/__tests__/run-failure-report.test.ts`: two new
cases. A scheduled retry stays local when the run row has no
finalization fields, and when the row has an earlier finalization phase.
The "finalization is not committed" must-report case changes to
"finalization has no fields and no retry run exists". That case still
reports.
- `doc/observability.md`: describes the successor-run proof.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/__tests__/run-failure-report.test.ts`: 284 tests pass.
- Red check: with the `master` version of `run-failure-report.ts`, the
two new cases fail. Each one captures one Sentry event. All other 282
tests pass.
- `npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-provider-failure.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/status-arbiter.test.ts`: 73 tests pass.
- I could not load `native-provider-overload.integration.test.ts` in my
local sandbox because of a missing environment setting. CI runs it.
- Exhausted, held, other-lane, other-task, no-task, legacy, setup,
signal and untyped-diagnostic failures still report. The existing
must-report cases prove this.

## Risks

Low risk. The change removes two field checks. The successor-run check
stays. Only the committed capacity decision creates a successor with
this retry reason, so a failure without a scheduled retry still reports.
No migration. No change to the retry behavior.

## Model Used

Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`) in Claude Code, with tool use and
code execution.
